Jerome Gambit: A Little More Help


Here is another Bill Wall Jerome Gambit (1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ ) miniature,

Wall, Bill - Dominico, Don

internet, 2021

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ 

4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.d4 Bd6 


Black's Bishop goes to d6, as in Wall, Bill - Masterz, internet, 2021, but in response to the d-pawn instead of the f-pawn.

7.dxe5 Bxe5 

Better was the safer 7...Bb4+ 8.c3 Bf8. 

8.Qh5+ Ke6 9.Qf5+ Kd6 


This does not look comfortable for Black.

10.Nd2 b5 

To prevent White's Knight from going to c4 with a fork, but Bill finds a way to still make the move work - with a little help.

11.f4 Qf6 

Giving a piece back (he has an extra one) but there is more at risk, htere.

12.fxe5+ Qxe5 13.Nc4+ 

Here is the fork, which cannot be allowed to stand, but, still...

13...bxc4 14.Bf4 Black resigned
